The Challenges without Data Management Consulting Services

By 2025, global data creation is projected to exceed 180 zettabytes, highlighting the growing importance of data analytics and management

Yet today, most companies face a multitude of problems without apt data management consultancy:

Data silos

Data trapped in departmental silos makes getting a unified view impossible. Marketing has their customer data, finance has financial data, operations has operational data. But there's no way to connect it all.

Multiple technology systems

Mergers, growth, and changing tech can leave companies with a hodgepodge of legacy systems that don't integrate. Valuable data gets stranded.

Data quality issues

According to Gartner, poor data quality costs organizations an average of $15 million per year. Errors, inconsistencies, and incompleteness render data unreliable.

Lack of data governance

Without documented standards, policies, and procedures governing data, organizations can't ensure accuracy, security, and compliance.

Difficulty accessing data

If employees can't easily find and extract the data they need, analytics and reporting suffer.
